CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

A few years ago I heard somewhere that some scientists apparently are working on a small attachment for PCs that, when you visit certain websites, it will begin releasing certain smells to go with site. The smells are encoded into the webpages and they tell the attachment what combinations to release.

Sounds questionable, wether or not the story is real. But that's beside the point. If such a bizarre device ever gets produces....what smell should the CAA forums have?

Popcorn?
Coffee?
Old Shoes?

You decided.

I vote for coffee.

I remember hearing that news story as well.

I think it should have the smell of a country farm house, the smell of the outdoors mixed with fresh baked apple pie, and a few mothballs.

Thanks for qualifying that. Those aren't the only smells associated with a country farm.

My personal choice would be for the smell of bread baking.

The faint smell of acetone as you unwrap a newly bought DVD.

No thanks.

A high school locker room.

Okay, how about the faint smell of acetone as you unwrap a newly bought CD, then?

Hey, new CDs are like drugs to me, Dr. Shooby. I smell the wrapping when I buy one. >_> You put that smell on CAA and I'll be logged in here until I pass out due to dehydration.

Nothing--NOTHING--beats that "new videogame console" smell. Fresh outta the box. Mmmmm. ::eats DreamCast::

But thenk, of course, I'd try to wrap myself up in my computer and I just don't think that would work. I would also be visiting the website even MORE than I visit now. Like Jamie, someone would have to "rescue" me from the computer.

OOH, OOH, HOPE! That's an awesome idea. But would the laundry be Downy fresh?

Think it should smell like appels.
Can't you just smell them now?

I feel that way about legos.

Yeah, I have to agree with Hope on this one. It's gotta smell like fresh laundry, all homey, warm, and fluffy!

No, the smells should be seasonal. Each week changing to something else that relates to that season and any special events of the time - so spring, summer, autumn and winter, easter (hot cross buns anyone?), christmas etc.

maybe it should smell like the creator of the website?

Smells like Ashley... ya either love it or hate it

me personally... i dunno... what does Ashley smell like...? other than like a human. Like fresh cut spring flowers? Or 4 week old lasagna?

Ooh now there's a question! However, she's a girl, creative, lively, and now at seminary - so I imagine she smells quite wonderful. I'm thinking some light but joyful perfume, perhaps the smell of healthy hair with a fruity shampoo and an ever so light presence of the smell of books.

Mmmmmm.

Just remember not to log on when she's been outside sweating all day.

*shot*

I would say... the smell of a bookstore. Or coffee house.

Is there any other way for it to be? O_o

As the originator of this thread I have to say you're going into strange territories....

I wouldn't want such a technology. Fast browsers would be overwhelmed by scents, and could you imagine what html spam would be like?

Bob: Toodle-doodle-doo, I'm gonna check my email.
Bob: Hmm, that looks interesting...

Bob: ...oh... OH... ARGGH, D4 P41|\|! D4 P41|\|!

John (coming in): Hey, Bob, you got that report from - OH! Geez! What did you have for lunch?!
Bob: It's not me, it's the computer!
John: Look, blame the dog for all I care, but get some help! That smell is... D4 P41|\|!

Sam (coming in): Hey, Joe, Bob, excellent, I need to talk to you about that report from Accounting. As far as the budget for next year - HOLY FLIPPING SCHNICKIES OF DEATH!!! WHAT IS THAT SMELL?!?!?!

(six months later)
New guy: So who's that, I don't think I've met him yet?
Sally: That's Bob, you'll want to keep you distance from him.
New guy: Oh, why's that?
Sally: Gas. Trust me. You'll want to keep your distance.


(Later, on Bob's employee evaluation)
Note: has difficulty integrating with team

(a little later)
Boss: Bob, I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go. You're just not fitting in here, so we think it's best if you move on. *aside* And I suggest doing something about that gas.
Bob: AAARRGGHHH!!! Enough with the gas!! It was the computer!!! *goes wild and is dragged out by security*

ROFL

*Laughs* Great, now the mods can be assigned smells...Lets just say some mods smell better then other mods. No names shall be used.

I'm sure the best smelling mod would be oldphil.... next shatterheart...

I'm not sure how to respond to the direction this thread is going with sounding like either a dirty old man or a sociopath, but I think I just did.

Old Phil.......'Old Spice'?

That's exactly what I was going to say.
